Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

One of my Xenon lamps has stopped working taking it in next week to have it looked at. My 996 will be three in April and still under warranty -although they've said its not covered Anyone ever had a Xenon stop working? The service guy said he's never seen one go and that they don't even keep them in stock... Thanks Migration info. Legacy thread was 13375

POST 2Original post

HI Very unusual for a Xenon to stop working. Most likley not to be the bulb (As it has no filament). Only other things it could be would are a dodgy wire or the transformer that ramps up the voltage to the bulb (25,000 volts required). Cost me £380 for that to be replaced on my current car by a main dealer ! I can only assume it would be roughly the same for your car. Good luck Migration info. Legacy thread was 13381

POST 3Original post

I agree with TLG. Another possibility - maybe someone touched the glass of the xenon bulb with their fingers? Migration info. Legacy thread was 13479

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

apparently needs a whole new headlamp unit - circa £500 and not covered by warranty Migration info. Legacy thread was 13526
